Fifteen year old Oscar Drai has a habit of sneaking out of his boarding school and exploring the city of Barcelona. During one of his excursions, he meets Marina and her eccentric father, Germán. Marina soon shows Oscar one of her favorite mysteries of the city: on the last Sunday each month, at exactly ten o’clock, a woman dressed all in black takes a carriage to a small graveyard and places a rose on an unmarked grave. Oscar and Marina decide to follow the woman and, in the process, make an odd and macabre discovery.

Dovey witnessed her best friend Carly die in one of the most violent hurricanes Savannah, Georgia has ever seen. One year later, she is being heavily medicated with mysterious white pills that arrive monthly in an unmarked glass bottle. Due to the pills, Dovey is able to cope with day-to-day activities like attending school or play practice, but feels as if she is in a dead fog and cannot remember anything beyond the time Carly died. While at a past favorite coffee shop, Dovey is positive she sees Carly, but loses her in an alley.

For one day, in a small town in rural Wisconsin, the dead came back to life. These “revivers” are the people they were in life, though some have come back changed. Inside the quarantined town’s borders, Officer Dana Cypress and others in the town deal with the aftermath of “Revival Day.” In addition to setting up the larger mysteries of how and why this happened, this first volume delves into a few other mysteries, including a main character’s murder. Billed as a “rural noir,” the art evokes the dark, claustrophobic, isolated town while the character driven plots slowly unfold.
